There is no support for this in the current codebase. Adding simple
support is rather easy. Adding fast loading is very difficult.
We have to keep the .zip files open in order to make the loading fast
and since the sys.path can be changed dynamicly it is difficult to close
the zip file in an orderly fashion.
Despite the problems, we all agree that loading from .jar & .zip on
sys.path is so natural that it should be supported.

No. Sorry.
